About Multiple SclerosisMultiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory medical condition, which results in demyelination, axonal transection, and neurodegeneration of the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord. The immune system of the body targets the neurons within the CNS and damages the myelin sheath. It is a potentially debilitating disease, causing disruption in the communication and coordination functions of the body. The symptoms of multiple sclerosis differ widely, subject to the extent of damage and the number of neurons affected. Some of the symptoms observed are fatigue, numbness, spasticity, bladder dysfunction, cognitive changes, emotional changes, and depression. An individual with severe form of the disease can experience speech and movement problems. Multiple sclerosis can be broadly classified into four types: RRMS, SPMS, PPMS, and PRMS.
